Sher on Tasawwur

Imagination is the source

of all our perceptions but imagination bears fruits in many more ways than we may usually perceive. Poets imagine more than we do and they use their imagination more creatively than us. That is how we need to look at these verses that unveil the magic of imagination and leave us stunned.

DhūñDtā hai phir vahī fursat ki raat din

baiThe raheñ tasavvur-e-jānāñ kiye hue

Again this heart seeks those days of leisure as of yore

Sitting just enmeshed in thoughts of my paramour

ji DhunDta hai phir wahi fursat ki raat din

baiThe rahen tasawwur-e-jaanan kiye hue

Again this heart seeks those days of leisure as of yore

Sitting just enmeshed in thoughts of my paramour

Mirza Ghalib
